Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As a beta, I shall do my utmost to read your submissions with a critical eye and give you constructive criticism. However, I shall try to be polite about it. :) br /br /

As for my expectations, I do have a few. I don't mind length. It can be anywhere from short to long-I don't really mind. I do request you have some grasp of proper grammar. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect or else you wouldn't really need a beta on that area. But, it does have to be something above the level of a third grader. Spelling mistakes are nothing for me. I don't mind them. Just try to be careful with your spelling. Paragraph breaks are also essential. I don't care much for stories without them. They make me cringe. br /br /

But, overall, I am pretty open to any submissions. :) Just send me a PM and we can go from there.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am pretty good with grammar and spelling. Plot holes are also an area of strength for me. I tend to pick up on a lot, so you can trust me with most things. :)
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
As for my weaknesses, I am pretty rubbish with complete honesty. I tend to try to be polite-often times too polite. So, if you want complete honesty, please enforce that in your message. Otherwise, I may be too sweet to you. I do try my very hardest to be honest, but... You know how some things work /br /

Punctuation are also a weak spot for me. Things such as colons and semicolons are what I mean. Periods and the lot are easy, so no worries about those.

Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I really like AUs. They are my absolute favorites. Especially well-thought out ones with interesting twists and turns. Some angst and darkness are okay, as well. :) Romance and humor are things I read often. Hurt/comfort are another top one for me.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I don't have much that I don't take a liking to, but things with HEAVY darkness (a.k.a. mental illnesses, depression, eating disorders, suicide, etc.) are not something I like very much as multichapter entries. If you just want to submit a one-shot, then I'm okay with it. Otherwise, I won't be as good at the editing bit.
